Highlights from the second half:
51st minute: Konrad Laimer has a shot from distance, but Jiri Pavlenka dives and can parry the ball to the side.
56th minute: The Green-Whites quickly switch the ball. They can’t find a way forward in the box and the ball is played back to Romano Schmid, who tries from range and shoots just wide of the post.
61st minute: Timo Werner dribbles down the right and then moves into the middle. He takes aim from there and hits the ball just past the left post.
64th minute: A cross from the right by Mitchell Weiser finds Marvin Ducksch in the centre, who only has to tap the ball in with his end of his boot, but just misses! The Green-Whites continue to push forward and Leonardo Bittencourt tries to put the ball in the top corner but can’t find the target.
66th minute: The hosts are on the attack straight after. Mohamed Simakan wins the ball in midfield and passes to Laimer, who drives forward a few yards. He slides Timo Werner through, who only has to play the ball into the centre, where Christopher Nkunku slots the ball home to make it 1-0. VAR will check the goal, however.
67th minute: Florian Badstübner has another look at a foul on Leonardo Bittencourt before the goal. His disallows it, and the score is back at 0-0.
70th minute: Goal for Werder! Just a moment ago, Leipzig’s goal was disallowed, and now Leonardo Bittencourt scores to make it 1-0 by firing the ball into the top left corner!
78th minute: Christopher Nkunku dribbles through the Bremen box and shoots. Pavlenka dives just in time and saves the ball excellently!
87th minute: A cross from Christopher Nkunku comes into the centre, where Willi Orban jumps to head the ball into the net to make it 1-1.
90th+2 minute: The ball finds the back of the net after the Green-Whites play quickly. Eren Dinkci has scored after a long ball was played forward to make it 2-1, but the linesman had already raised his flag for offside.
90th+6 minute: Goal for Leipzig: Christopher Nkunku is on the wing and plays the ball into the middle. Dominik Szoboszlai only has to slide it in to make it 2-1.
90th+7 minute: Full time.
